When I run a build course I do a parallel build and this is the result. It's mildly figured koa with a matt cellulose finish and my signature 'Georgian Mahogany' stained neck and planetary tuners. Mother or pearl signature logo at top of headstock and Snowdon at nut.

Back view matching front with mild figure and grain. Neck colour pretty much matches real thing

I will include shipping to UK residents add $50 for export. Caution - the last 2 shipments I have sent to the US have had problems at this end and in the US. Brexit has made everyone nervous, even Customs and Excise. I do everything I can including paperwork but carriers are not playing nice. Just a heads up - instruments eventually arrived safely but both took 21 days regardless of how much I chased or communicated with the carriers. Sorry, it's something I cannot control - no-one can.
